BC548

Changjiang Electronics Tech (CJ) · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · TO-92

BC548 from Changjiang Electronics Tech (CJ), in a TO-92. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 COLLECTOR passive Collector of the NPN transistor; for BC548 the datasheet gives VCBO 30 V, VCEO 30 V, and continuous collector current IC 0.1 A, with collector power dissipation PC 625 mW.
2 BASE input Base of the NPN transistor; the datasheet lists the BC548 emitter-base voltage VEBO as 5 V and gives VBE(sat) 1.1 V at IC=100 mA, IB=5 mA.
3 EMITTER passive Emitter of the NPN transistor; the datasheet lists the BC548 emitter-base voltage VEBO as 5 V (the emitter-base breakdown voltage V(BR)EBO minimum is 5 V at IE=10 μA).
